Have you tried Pain Ease prior to the needle insertion? It works instantly and is ideal for the more sensitive areas, especially around the face. You can dip a Q-tip in the solution and it super-cools the site to interrupt the nerve signal. I hope to have a video showing the technique posted soon.
Here's what really happens, without any pseudo-science: Any treatment that you manage to believe in will a) cause an endorphin release, caused by excitement due to high expectation, and b) lower the amount of stress hormones in the body. This placebo effect can have a positive effect on people's health, at least for a short time. It's no reliable cure for anything though.
No offence to you Tastentier but I would like to ask how much you know about this system of medicine. I was one of them who think exactly same as you until i benefitted from acupuncture. There are more than what is not explained by western medicine.
I'm no M.D., but I studied enough of the natural sciences to know that the claims of acupuncture are ridiculous (mystical energy flow, meridians etc). Besides, I've recieved acupuncture treatments in my youth (for allergic asthma, which made me feel a little better for some days, and when I got back to the stress of everyday life I had the same old health problems again. This experience was perfectly consistent with the placebo effect that I learned bout years later.
My brother wrote the thing that you are berating him on. He has graduated from Massage therapy class and is going to Acupuncture school now for over a year and will be an MD in Chinese Medicine. Im sure he knows what he is talking about.
No, I cannot see, because you're idiotic cameraman does not know how to operate the zoom feature.

Prayer and faith healing has also been used for thousands of years. That doesn't mean there's more than a placebo effect to prayer... or acupuncture.

Acupuncture can treat pink eye. Pink eye is due to excessive heat and damp in the body.
